“…evidence on the effectiveness of local committees in improving school management and performance is, at best, mixed. For example, some studies highlight that giving autonomy to school-level actors has a positive impact on process outcomes, such as improved community involvement in schools, but has no impact on student achievement (Beasley & Huillery, 2017;Blimpo, Evans, & Lahire, 2011).
